Morning, Yes, I do know more about it ;)
It was developed just prior to the 1.5 release, and I had been targetting getting it into that release. However, we were entering a phase of stabilising the code at that time, and there was one significant problem with it... The detail of metadata captured by DSpace in a standard configuration is not sufficient to reliably produce the export data. In order to make it work, I had to implement some rather horrible manipulation of the metadata. And even then, it isn't always reliable, as the metadata in typical repositories isn't consistent enough [to support the manipulation]. So as it stands, this won't be incorporated into DSpace before 2.0. We need to develop better working practises for using metadata first. However, this isn't the only option for people that really want to do this. If you install the Firefox extension Zotero, then you can save entries to it from the embedded RDF data that comes with 1.5.x installations. Once you have the data in Zotero, it's then possible to manipulate it if necessary, and export from there to a number of different formats, including RIS, Refer and BibTex.
